Capt. Robert was a nice enough guy, but he is not really a local to the St.Marks area where he took us. He spoke a lot of his experience in the Crystal River/ Homasassa areas. He spent a lot of time searching back and forth trying to find a spot for the scallops. I do appreciate his efforts, but we still did not find anything.

Response from Captain Experiences:
Hey Steven - thank you for this feedback. It sounds like Captain Robert worked hard to get you all on some scallops, but conditions were not ideal on that day. Please give us a call soon - we would love to get you out on another adventure soon!

Great day scalloping with Captain Robert. Very friendly and personable. Being a local to the area, Robert was very knowledgeable of the waters and even provided recommendations of things to see, eat and drink in the nearby communities. Robert also helped shuck our scallops. I look forward to scalloping and fishing with Robert again!
